"He's stupid.  Thinks with his feet....  But I trust those feet!"

"I'll say this much for him:  he has the courage of his ignorance."

--A Face in the Crowd

The New Yorker critic Pauline Kael on the A Face in the Crowd cast: "They should all take a cold shower."


Dreamed of the summer of 1979.


They're now tearing up the south side of St. Clair Avenue near our house.


Spent a long time sorting the comic strips I've been recently buying online.


Dinner was spaghetti (which I cooked).


Saw the DVD of the Elia Kazan-Budd Schulberg satire A Face in the Crowd. (When I went online afterward, it turned out that Schulberg had just died!) Quintessential 1950s cynicism, melodramatic but often sharp.
